It's annoying how the live streams aren't available yet as on-demand video as soon as the race is finished  

 

FIL's live streaming system having these annoying flaws, IBSF messed up their YouTube channel so it's not possible to pause and rewind a live stream anymore (and you have to watch either live entirely or on-demand entirely)....the streaming world is going backwards

More annoying was having to click on video thumbnails with literal spoilers to watch yesterday's sprints.

Yes, but I am used to that by now since that's almost always the case. Sometimes the thumbnail is a random picture, but usually - also in World Cups - it's something like athlete A cheering, a screenshot from athlete B crossing the line in 1st or even the podium  

 

Once you're used to that, it's fine though, just use your hand to cover the video and scroll in such a way that you only see the title of the video, then click. Yeah it ain't ideal  But it's a viable workaround at least.

There will be a big party in Berchtesgaden tonight.

Let's just say the mathematical odds of Germans being drawn 1st and 2nd were at an astonishing 48 to 720 (roughly 6-7%).

Does the seeded group really consist of only 6 doubles? I thought it were 12 sleds (in that case the probability for two certain German sleds being drawn at 1st and 2nd starting position would be only 1,5% ;-) ) By the way, the starting order is drawn in public (so the rules say at least)

Thanks Bertechsgades organizers for proving how much of a part the refrigiration plays.

 

This morning the course was melting left and right, due to "weather conditions".

 

Max Langenhan opens the first singles run with a track record.

And it all slowed down after Bib 7...

 

Let's how competitive the Austrians will be today.

[dcro 10,210]

Even without the mistake, Nico Gleirscher, the sprint champion, would have been around 0.3 behind. Much slower than anyone that went pre-Loch (D. Gleirscher is 6th with +0.215).

Vaverčák/Zmij were so close of U23 medal.
